News: If you are someone that plays only on Xbox you now have your opportunity to check out this popular franchise from Sega.

Yakuza 0 is now available on Xbox One and Windows 10 and you can download it for free if you are a Game Pass member. Xbox fans will finally get the chance to experience the drama, action, mini-games, sub-stories, and more that have made the Yakuza franchise a hit over the past few years.

The Xbox One Game Pass release of Yakuza 0 makes an excellent entry point for series newcomers. A prequel to the original Yakuza, Yakuza 0 follows the parallel storylines of Kazuma Kiryu and Goro Majima, two men who find themselves deeply embroiled in the violent conflicts of Japan's criminal underworld.

Set in Japan's economic bubble period of the 1980s, players will explore the extraordinarily-detailed districts of Kamurocho, Tokyo, and Sotenbori, Osaka as Kiryu and Majima as they fight for their lives... with the occasional break to go bowling, head to Club SEGA for a game of Out Run, hit up the disco, compete in slot car racing, go fishing, manage a cabaret club, or belt out some tunes at the karaoke parlor, to name just a few of the side activities in Yakuza 0.

For newcomers to the series you definitely want to start with Yakuza 0. After that is Yakuza Kiwami, Yakuza Kiwami 2, Yakuza 3, Yakuza 4, Yakuza 5, Yakuza 6, and Yakuza 7. It should be noted that not all of these titles have been announced for Xbox at this time, however, it seems likely that they will now arrive at some point. Yakuza Kiwami and Yakuza Kiwami 2 are remakes of Yakuza 1 and 2 respectively.
